The turbulent four months are over, and we have a winner in the first ever Sons of Steve Garvey Fantasy Football Challenge:

PROFESSOR STEVE DITTMORE

That's right. The Razorback scholar rode the waves of Andre Johnson, Aaron Rodgers, and Mike Wallace over the course of the season to stand alone at the top of the mountain, dispatching Paul in the championship game by a score of 185-135. And as such, to the victor go the spoils. I have the esteemed honor of presenting the Professor with his grand prize: a 2008 Topps Juan Pierre card! That is again right; he gets to relive that magical 2007 season when Pierre had a .293 batting average and .684 OPS. But wait, there's more! Because Paul gave such a great effort, he will be receiving a consolation prize of his own: a 2010 Topps Heritage Chris Getz card! Pour over the minor league numbers of the Topps 2009 All-Star Rookie, from his time in Great Falls to his days in Charlotte. I just need their mailing information

[Sax's note: Professor Dittmore and Paul, please send an email to me, and I will forward on], and they will receive their riches in six to ten business days.

Final standings are as follows, from top to bottom:

1 Professor Dittmore

2 Paul

3 Mr. Customer

4 Dusty Baker

5 Meaniebreanie

6 MLASC

7 Jason

8 Karina

9 NicJ

10 Spanky

Thanks to everyone who participated. It was a lot of fun, and now that we have our feet wet, we can hopefully do it again next season. Except for Professor Dittmore. Nobody likes a sore winner.

And thank you to Mr. LA Sports Czar for serving as Commissioner (and Dusty Baker for his additions and wrapups), for everything this inaugural season. We must do this again.

In fact, in considering the prospects for the Dodgers' 2011 season, "fantasy baseball" sounds pretty apropos.

I'd like to thank Spanky who made this win possible. Spanky dropped the following players during the season who made contributions to my team's run: 60 Minutes, Billy Cundiff, Jerome Harrison, Jay Cutler and Brandon Jacobs.

To show my gratitude toward Spanky, upon receipt of my coveted first place prize, I will send to Spanky a 2008 Topps Andruw Jones.
